i last spoke to him two hours before the blast i don't know if he is dead or alive . the huge casualty figure has one pause but also in the city they quickly ran out of blood forcing them to turn away some of the injured for a lot of zavos yet to receive medical attention their patience is wearing thin. my son is missing one part of his head and the wound is infected. yet they keep asking me to wait i can't wait i need help for my son. international aid has been quick to arrive in somalia with tuckey. leading efforts to lift the most seriously wounded government official say more help is needed. we don't have blood and we don't have the facilities for us even to locate the

billions of dollars of revenue for the kurds from me a bit in northern iraq struck a port. iraqi government forces are in full control here and now. the oil fields around kirkuk are one of iraq's two main oil producing areas vital for the economy. before the peshmerga forces withdrew the kurdistan regional government was pumping around six hundred thousand barrels of oil a day from wells like these. this is one of the main processing units at the by has and feel it used to be exploited by the occupying forces of coke now thank god the fields have been handed over to the iraqi authorities when the peshmerga controlled this area the iraqi government accused the kurdish leaders of not sharing oil revenue with baghdad so it stops sending the seventeen percent of the federal budget as per the two thousand and five constitution to the region. now

with the oil fields back under iraqi government control the oil ministry has vowed to increase production to one million barrels a day. and it's threatening legal action against the kurdistan regional government if it stops the flow to the turkish mediterranean port of jihan through a pipeline across the kurdish region of northern iraq the oil ministry isn't taking any risks. it plans to repair and reopen a pipeline that was damaged in two thousand and fourteen during fighting against eisel one that doesn't cross kurdish territory. as militia and iraqi government forces fill the streets in the nearby town of debase the sheer song echoes from loudspeakers. don't underestimate mr kurt we are the ancestors of the grandson of the prophet muhammad would be an accurate translation. prime minister hyderabadi says in taking back control of the kirkuk

oil fields he has acted according to iraq's constitution for the benefit of all iraqis the kurdish government says it's being punished by baghdad and the international community for holding a referendum on eventual secession from iraq which was the kurdish people's right we are disappointed at the reaction of the international community they should not have let down the people of color to stop they have abandoned us at the time that we have done exactly what they have been preaching they mean people preaching that democracy human rights rule of law transparency and openness going to the public going to the source of legitimacy is this a crime the kurdistan regional government is around seventeen billion dollars in debts and revenue from kirkuk all feels was vital to compensate for the seventeen percent of the federal budget the baghdad stopped sending this region in two thousand and fifteen now baghdad has not yet said when know if it will restart

sending the money but with the oil fields firmly under government control the economic situation of this region could get even worse. spain is warned it will take the unprecedented step of seeking to suspend catalonia is autonomy if the region's leader doesn't abandon his secession bid his bridge to man has until thursday morning to tell us central government in madrid whether or not he is declaring a split from the rest of the country if he does declare independence madrid says it will trigger article one five five zero spain's constitution a measure never used before which would allow it to take direct control over catalonia and ridge could then suspend regional government and eventually trigger new elections in catalonia. remains defiant reports. is running out of options. save europe catalonia as independence movements looking increasingly desperate they're reaching out for help it concerns to each and every european

two million people that voted in favor of independence in a referendum that isn't recognized outside catalonia if the madrid government decide to him. post direct rule the independence movement says the response will be seismic i think it would be tremendously unwise to interfere and catalan autonomy because i know my country and will be an enormous response by most of the people in schools and television in the media we're talking about people taking to the streets again on mass of course we've been doing that for seven years we've had millions of people going to the streets and we would have that again in protest of course but the spanish government knows the regions defined it some catalans want secession now others are hesitant in large numbers hate the idea of these risky he's career he's risking his sleeve are to his freedom he is risking a stab i mean. divide it into two parts and i thing

for the next five years saying china should take center stage in the world stage and brown has more from beijing. president xi jinping can control a lot of things but he can't influence the weather to the superstitious and many people here are the damp gray start to this congress was perhaps a warning sign. in spite of the weather this was a day of choreographed unity after what has been a tumultuous few years for the party. but there was a stirring welcome for the president. this is as close as the foreign media get to the opaque workings of china's communist party. she reported on his past five years in office saying the party had achieved miracles he also warned serious challenges ahead. our country is at a strategic point in. the future is extremely bright but the challenges are

also extremely serious all party congress must assert their size and the high and the think of a danger in times of safety his address lasted three and a half hours if nothing else it showed that she now sixty four is healthy healthy enough to rule for another ten to fifteen years insists his supporters at one stage former president jiang zemin appeared to nod off he was china's top leader twenty five years ago when i reported on the fourteenth party congress as china began to experiment with capitalism the new catch phrase is socialism with chinese characteristics in a new openness and economic anything seems to go anything that is political reform twenty five years on the faces behind me have changed but the backdrop remains pretty much the same and the prospect of political reform as remote now as

it was then. the congress will now meet in secret for the next seven days after which china's new leaders will be unveiled president xi is assured of a second term and this congress seems set to cement his position as china's top leader for a lot longer. adrian brown al-jazeera beijing. you know nations as is considering whether violence against muslims constitutes genocide well then five hundred eighty thousand revenge or have fled me in march for bangladesh since august in what the un has previously described as textbook ethnic cleansing amnesty international accuses me of massacres the forces of raping and killing villages and setting fire to homes it's calling for an arms embargo on me and maher and criminal prosecution of its forces your human rights chief has told others here the perpetrators of crimes against rangers must face charges and what we clearly need to see happen is

that the violence must be brought to an immediate and those who are displaced must be invited back their homes must be rebuilt of course there are their rights need to be respected human rights of course we need to see we need to see those who are responsible for this punished and they need to be. brought up before a judge. is president donald trump is facing more controversy over his handling of the deaths of four u.s. soldiers in ambush in the earlier this month he's been forced to deny making insensitive remarks in a phone call to the widow of one of the men are white house correspondent can you help it is following the story for us secondly the daily press briefing is just wrapped up was the white house saying about all this. well the white house is defending the president's account of what took place and what is really devolved into a he said she said over the condolence call to a widow and as you point out it was

a widow one of those four service members killed in the share earlier this month the white house saying in fact that when the president reached out to sergeant johnson's widow that in fact he was in their words following protocol there were many members of the administration in the room including general kelly his chief of staff and that in fact the president the eyes of the administration officials who were listening to this call was empathetic respectful appropriate and praised the family for saying they now have a hero amongst their family that they can remember certainly also to the president through his spokesperson sarah sanders pointing the finger at the congresswoman frederica wilson who is a democratic member of congress for saying that she has politicized this unfortunate event calling it appalling and disgusting the fact that the white house is saying she mischaracterized the president's comments in which she said the fact that the president was anything but empathetic something that the white house is

disputing can be the president doesn't tend to shy away from confrontation but can he win on this one. this really is one that many people feel is a lose lose for the president given the fact that gold star families as they're called lauren or family members of those whose loved ones were killed in action are service members are really put on a pedestal in the united states considered on touchable once they're experiencing this grief in terms of any sort of criticism so the fact that the president even if he is in the right and we don't have proof of that despite the president's promises that he would release that he has proof that exists that was not offered up in this press briefing but the fact remains is that this really is a dispute that many consider pretty distasteful that even if the president was right he shouldn't engage and given the fact that this is a family in grief it's not a political adversary and this is really not one where one should be seen as

scoring any points so this doesn't appear to be something that the president is going to win either sort of in public opinion or in terms of facts given the fact that it involves a grieving widow and the fact that there are also to some questions about the mission that led to the deaths of these four soldiers why were they there those questions still remain an answer given the fact that it was known to be an area where there wasn't certain activity it was a routine mission and they were traveling in an armored vehicle can really help kids thank you very much indeed. it is what it is opposition is refusing to swear in its newly elected governors before present a powerful constituent assembly which it deems unconstitutional. socialist government won eighteen out of venezuela's twenty three states in sunday's regional elections this despite polls pushing the opposition far ahead opposition leaders have refused to accept the surprise win and edging dirty tricks such as election centers being moved to dangerous areas at the last minute that the street protests

if there isn't a full recount. is live for us in caracas tourism eighteen of the governors were sworn in earlier or can you tell us. the constitutional assembly there was a big party a big celebration saying that it was the day to celebrate it eight of the governors elected less than they were born in the precedents of the. people of the if you the former morning minister said that bennett well let me break this. down to the results of elections where we and fair and she also said but they international community. venezuela electoral rolls have a bite of the big questioning that have been on going. for nationally about what exactly happened here those who are after him. ceremony where the governors. take

one by the. they had to be sworn in in their legislative council but not here yet what is going to happen with them because in the past. elected. forty eight them felt. that. because it was created basically because. of it how were they would be different. but what we heard today that the president of the national assembly their people that they should come to the offended. be sworn in but so far the opposition continued to say that they won't go to the meeting and we mention that they they've been calling for more street protests what's morale like it is amongst the opposition we're going to stay today in. well until now we have not seen any protests at all and like that we've been going here for the past month the morale is very very low something that i can think of several leaders among the opposition and

what we're seeing it also is that the you need. it in the past in the. wrong people it in a way i bred a group with different organizations there having opinions all of those different that in the past. have recognized that the results of law founding fathers are saying that fraud was committed. one. of the was very adamant that she was very critical not only of the government but also of the other fish and she said that the opposition should have never accepted to participate in an election where nothing was guaranteed where the regularity didn't happen on election day but were happening prior to the election and that was their biggest mistake there's a both thank you very much the. campaigning has halted in argentina's mid-term congressional elections after reports that a young activist missing for more than two months has been found dead center or was
